TLDR
It is evident that much new knowledge about SMS has been acquired in the last 7 years, and more recent research in what appears to be a burgeoning field is surveyed.Abstract:
Sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) is the coordination of rhythmic movement with an external rhythm, ranging from finger tapping in time with a metronome to musical ensemble performance. An earlier review (Repp, 2005) covered tapping studies; two additional reviews (Repp, 2006a, b) focused on music performance and on rate limits of SMS, respectively. The present article supplements and extends these earlier reviews by surveying more recent research in what appears to be a burgeoning field. The article comprises four parts, dealing with (1) conventional tapping studies, (2) other forms of moving in synchrony with external rhythms (including dance and nonhuman animals’ synchronization abilities), (3) interpersonal synchronization (including musical ensemble performance), and (4) the neuroscience of SMS. It is evident that much new knowledge about SMS has been acquired in the last 7 years.read more

The ADaptation and Anticipation Model (ADAM) of sensorimotor synchronization
TL;DR: The conceptual basis and architecture of ADAM is described, which combines reactive error correction processes (adaptation) with predictive temporal extrapolation processes (anticipation) inspired by the computational neuroscience concept of internal models and creates a novel and promising approach for exploring adaptation and anticipation in SMS.

The evolutionary neuroscience of musical beat perception: the Action Simulation for Auditory Prediction (ASAP) hypothesis
TL;DR: It is argued that beat perception is a complex brain function involving temporally-precise communication between auditory regions and motor planning regions of the cortex (even in the absence of overt movement), and it is proposed that simulation of periodic movement inMotor planning regions provides a neural signal that helps the auditory system predict the timing of upcoming beats.

Embodied music cognition and mediation technology
Peter E. Keller,Petr Janata +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Leman examines how these developments might be unified into something that is simultaneously a theory of music cognition and a blueprint for the music mediation technology of the future, and the main mediating principle elaborated on in the monograph, which is more intellectual discourse than textbook, is rooted in the belief that musical interactions are socially charged, embodied affairs.

Finding the beat: a neural perspective across humans and non-human primates
TL;DR: It is suggested that a cross-species comparison of behaviours and the neural circuits supporting them sets the stage for a new generation of neurally grounded computational models for beat perception and synchronization.

Rhythm in joint action: psychological and neurophysiological mechanisms for real-time interpersonal coordination.
TL;DR: This review article addresses the psychological processes and brain mechanisms that enable rhythmic interpersonal coordination and highlights musical ensemble performance as an ecologically valid yet readily controlled domain for investigating rhythm in joint action.

Strong anticipation: Sensitivity to long-range correlations in synchronization behavior
Damian G. Stephen,Nigel D. Stepp,Nigel D. Stepp,James A. Dixon,James A. Dixon,Michael T. Turvey,Michael T. Turvey +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents initial evidence for strong anticipation in a synchronization task with tapping as the behavior, and suggests a close relationship between the long-range correlations of the chaotic signal and thelong-range correlated behavior of the synchronization behavior.

Strong anticipation: Multifractal cascade dynamics modulate scaling in synchronization behaviors
TL;DR: In this paper, Schertzer et al. showed that the attunement of human behavior to fractal scaling of an unpredictable signal was not the trivial result of sensitivity to temporal structure in aggregate but reflected a subtle sensitivity to the coordination across multiple time scales of fluctuation in the unpredictable signal.
Compatibility of Motion Facilitates Visuomotor Synchronization
TL;DR: In this article, three finger-tapping experiments were conducted with visual metronomes containing a spatial component, either compatible, incompatible, or orthogonal to the tapping action, and the results indicated that visuomotor synchronization improves dramatically with compatible spatial information.

Distinguishing Self and Other in Joint Action. Evidence from a Musical Paradigm
TL;DR: The sociality of the context modulates action attribution at the level of the motor control system through the role of MEPs associated with co-performer presence, which increases with pianists' self-reported empathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural substrates of real and imagined sensorimotor coordination.
TL;DR: Results showed that neural differences between executed synchronization and syncopation found in premotor cortex, supplementary motor area, basal ganglia and lateral cerebellum persist even when the coordinative patterns were only imagined, suggesting that coordination phenomena are not exclusively rooted in purely motoric constraints.
